![]() After I had built our new red oak cabinets for our kitchen, my wife needed another item made to complement her I-Pod player. The player is designed for an under cabinet mounting and we didn't want to screw the mounting brackets to the underneath side of the new cabinet frames. With this in mind, I decided to make a stand to hold the player at a height that would be similar to the intended under cabinet mounted height and so that it would not be sitting directly on our new Corian® countertop. I began by taking the overall measurements of the I-Pod player and the distance of the spacing from the top surface of the counter top and the bottom of the upper cabinets. With these dimensions determined, I went into the shop to cut the pieces for a very simple stand to accommodate the player. This project was not very complicated at all. Not wanting to over design this thing, I simply cut boards to the dimensions needed, edge glued some of them together to get the desired width and let them dry. I then cut half lapped joints at the rear of the stand and routed dados where the shelf was to be placed. The last step before the glue up of all the parts was to bore a hole in the back to accommodate the cord to the player. The pictures below show the assembled stand after the assembly and prior to applying the finish and top coating.
